Objectives

It is recognized that the European Union is the most advanced in the experiences of integration processes in the world. As the Treaties were reformed, from 1957 to the present, the Community and then the European Union, have been receiving a greater number of powers and, consequently, have occupied an increasingly relevant space in the political, economic, and social life of the States that form it, building a legal and political system, of international recognition, a fact that has mobilized public attention.

In turn, China in recent decades has experienced an exponential growth of its economy. To a greater extent, pursuing prolonged internal growth and population rebalancing. Once this has been achieved, now China is turning abroad, and is in full development of its foreign political program known as "The new Silk Road". This will be one of the backbones of this master's degree, as it seeks to train adults and young people in the new role that China plays on the international stage.

In the same way, people in possession of titles from educational systems that are not part of the EHEA, which are equivalent to a Bachelor's degree, will be able to access a Master's Degree in the Spanish university system, without the need for homologation of the title, but verification by of the university of the level of training that they imply, as long as in the country where said title was issued it allows access to university postgraduate level studies.
